Hawkins is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a progressive course of study designed for engineers, electricians, and students who wish to grasp working knowledge of electricity and its applications. The guide covers specific topics related to alternating currents, their principles, and uses, making it a valuable educational resource. The opening of the work introduces the concept of alternating currents, outlining their definition and fundamental principles. It explains the behavior of alternating currents compared to direct currents, emphasizing their periodic nature and the importance of their magnetic effects. The text presents advantages and disadvantages of using alternating current, including its efficiency in transmission over long distances and its utility in various electrical applications. Additionally, the first section includes definitions, diagrams, and graphs to illustrate these concepts, setting a technical foundation for further exploration on the subject matter.
